More police in an area CAUSES more crime to happen. And what's our response to higher crime? MORE COPS!

What useful responsibilities they do have could all be replaced by other people. Most of those do not need to be armed hotheads who don't fully grasp laws they're supposed to enforce.

Please show some evidence for your claim that police cause more crime to happen.
